As artists, sometimes our work is chaotic; we don't easily communicate our needs to other people in a way that they understand.

Sometimes you divorce a part of yourself to save yourself emotionally.

If I want to do something in the TV industry, I should be allowed to explore that, but not in a way where it has to cancel out or ruin my visual art career.

Every artist's world is an individual experience and no one thing can prepare you. You have to go in and go where those roles lead you - just allow it to happen and follow your path.

Sometimes I just cringe. I can feel the emotion, that whole anxiety of being in this new world that I sort of evolved into. I would just do it, put it out there, and go for it.

If you want to be somewhere, you should go to that place and check it out.

When you get a critique, people think you're criticizing them but it's really an intellectual conversation. You can't get emotionally attached.

I realized [using my own voice] is what creates the performance in the performance art and that's what helps creates the distance for the viewers, like the distance that I get when I step back.

I was in that generation where I was torn if you should put it on the web because you're giving it away for free but you also want people to see your work.

Even though the art world goes through trends, you do know that it'll come up again.

I realized that was what was happening in my work already. I think that's where, as artists, we begin to master our craft: when we're able to step back and understand things.

I believe that, for those who love to write, time spent writing is never wasted. And then isn't it from book to book that we approach the book that we really want to write?

Technology... is a queer thing. It brings you great gifts with one hand, and it stabs you in the back with the other.

Do not just look at your boyfriend as just a boyfriend. Look at him as a friend, too.

They wouldn't call it falling in love if you didn't get hurt sometimes, but you just pick yourself up and move on.

Time, though in Eternity, applied To motion, measures all things durable By present, past, and future.

I bought the book, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. I paid to have it made into a play and I played in it for six months. I came back and I tried to make it into a movie, without success.

I love fashion. I always have. When I was a kid, I was in almost full-on costumes when I went to school, and I've retained a bit of that in my adulthood.

Every side of a coin has another side.

Children really brighten up a household. They never turn the lights off.
